The mission of the Maynard Childhood Cancer Foundation is to fund promising research related to the prevention, treatment and ultimate cure of childhood cancer, particularly sarcoma and other pediatric cancers with low cure rates.

A secondary mission is to support quality of life programs for pediatric cancer patients. Fundraising efforts began in 2004 when the Maynards then 5 year old son developed a rare cancer called leiomyosarcoma.

This Foundation and Jake's Reindeer Race (our signature event) could not exist and flourish without the unending and truly generous support of so many people. Our sincerest thanks go to everyone involved!
